Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf is Professor of Art History at Stockholm University, Sweden.
...Significant and original ... Lagerlof assembles here a group of monuments from France, Rome, and Stockholm, which allows for a synchronic interpretation and reading of significant issues of visuality and content across power regimes and the long time period of the Baroque style in Europe ... it is the first comprehensive examination in the history of art of these galleries, and as such makes an important scholarly contribution from which others may draw further conclusions.- Catherine M. Soussloff, University of British Columbia, Canada
